Happiness and Sorrow.
The purer the perception of sorrow, the more one comprehends it. Acceptance of sorrow, is easier than acceptance of happiness, and one can renounce happiness, more easily, than one can renounce sorrow. It is said, that Lord Vishnu, as an Avatar, of a wild female boar, was so engrossed in his offspring, that he only contemplated the offspring. I believe, he contemplated the offspring in deep sorrow. He found his sorrow, so deep and meaningful, that Lord Shiva, had to destroy the perception of the Avatar, by destroying his manifestation. It is said, that Lord Vishnu, ascended to his abode, expressing laughter, after the perception of the non-existence of that manifestation.
Water, and the concept of cleanliness.
If water can clean, then thereafter, how can water be clean? Water is perhaps perceived as the most neutral of compounds that are perceived. If that be so, then water is neither clean, nor unclean. Perhaps, water cannot be described, not because of the fault of perception, but because perception does not need to describe water. If perception is curbed, perception acts as a curb on itself. If my basic perception of water, is that my perception is limited, then my perception acts as a curb. If this be the case, that water is neither clean nor unclean, why does the world depend on its own cleanliness, and hence uncleanliness? Because we perceive cleanliness, we condone uncleanliness. When we promote cleanliness, we promote uncleanliness. Perhaps, the world is obsessive about cleanliness, and uncleanliness. If the world was not conscious about cleanliness, then perhaps, the world would be naturally clean.
